Great collection of Green Day rarities Yes this is a short album, but it's another awesome burst of Green Day, and the fact that I picked it up for all of 7 dollars gives me no reason to complain. "Shenanigans" collects 14 Green Day rarities, B-sides and covers, and is able to put them all together in under 34 minutes.
Among these songs as the fast-paced, country-influenced and quite funny "Don't Wann Fall In Love", the instrumental "Espionage" which could very well be the theme to a spy show on TV, the loud, in-your-face "I Wanna Be On TV" which is reminiscent of classic Ramones and Sex Pistols, and a cover of both the Ramones "Outsider", and the Kinks' "Tired Of Waiting For You", both of which are great covers.
Well, there's not much else to say here, the music is great and inside the booklet we get more amusing pictures of the band in their. . . well, shenanigans! Be sure to pick this up if you want more great Green Day. Thanks for the time, and peace.
Great B-Sides Compilation
If you didn't know any better, this could easily pass as an actual album. Shenanigans collects b-side tracks from the albums DOOKIE through WARNING. It's filled top to bottom with the catchy, high energy pop-punk that Green Day is known for.
The stand out tracks for me are: Desensitized, Do Da Da, Ha Ha Your Dead, Suffocate, Scumbag, You Lied, Tired of Waiting, Don't Wanna Fall In Love.
The Song "Espionage" was recorded for the first Austin Powers soundtrack.
My only complaint is that the songs "J. A. R. ", "Maria" & "Poprocks & Coke" weren't on this. Buying INTERNATIONAL SUPERHITS! for 3 songs is kinda sucky.
Tracks 9 & 13 = DOOKIE b-sides.
Tracks 5,7 & 12 = INSOMNIAC b-sides.
Tracks 1,2,3,6,10 & 11 = NIMROD b-sides.
Tracks 4 & 8 = WARNING b-sides.
Track 14 was previously unreleased.
Cover songs: "Outsider" by The Ramones. "I Want To Be On T. V. " by Fang. "Tired of Waiting for You" by The Kinks.

Best Green Day album
Also to mention there's a Romones cover too. Even though Shenanigans didnt have any hits, I'd have to day that this is the Best Green Day album ever. (Outsider).
Shenanigans (a.k.a. awesome CD =)
The last track (Ha Ha You're Dead) is the by far the best track and one of my favorite songs. This is one of the best Green Day CD's and overall one of the best CD's ever! The best tracks are Espionage (Track 6), Scumbag (Track 8), Tired Of Waiting For You (Track 9, which is originally by the band Kinks), and Ha Ha You're Dead (Track 14). The cover and the inside artwork is amazing; the inside artwork is a collage of all of the Green Day albums since Dookie. Plus, Billie Joe Armstrong is REALLY cute, which to me is reason enough to buy the CD! :D.
Shenanigans is petty good.
This cd was pretty ok, most of the songs were catchy and punk style, but i also wish they could of put the lyrics to the songs in the booklet! Oh well, pretty good album to add to your Green Day collecion!.
